Coaches

Stephen Lewis Secondary School as well as the York Region Athletic Association is looking forward to hosting the 2017 OFSAA Tennis Championship this spring in Toronto and Markham.

Please find below a list of basic information that should be passed along to the team(s) representing your association.

Teams are encouraged to check the championship website frequently leading up to the championship for the latest information.

A reminder to ensure the spelling is correct on the AELS forms since this is where information will be taken from for the tournament draws. All AELS eligibility sheets require your signature in hard copy for OFSAA registration.

Entry Deadline:

Once Suzanne tells me you have all the proper forms sent to her, your athlete will be bolded and then registered into the tournament. Please make sure you have all signatures on the forms before scanning them and sending them to Suzanne.

Registration:

Registration will take place from 7:00am to 8:15am on Monday, May 29th @ Delta Toronto East.

PLEASE BRING ONLY ONE CHEQUE FROM EACH ASSOCIATION FOR ALL OF YOUR ATHLETES. WE WILL NOT BE ACCEPTING CHEQUES FROM INDIVIDUAL SCHOOLS. PLEASE DECIDE WHO FROM YOUR ASSOCIATION WILL BE BRINGING THE TWO CHEQUES (Event - payable to Stephen Lewis SS + OFSAA Participation Fees - Payable to OFSAA) FOR ALL ATHLETES IN YOUR ASSOCIATION.

Checklists can be found on the website in the "for coaches" section.

Coaches Meeting:

The coaches meeting will take place at 8:15am on Monday, May 29th @ Delta Toronto East hotel. It is expected that all coaches attend the coaches meeting.

Matches will begin Monday morning at 9:00am at University of Toronto and at 9:30am at both Parkway locations.

Hotels:

Two hotels are available on the championship website. Click on Venues/Hotels and then click on Accommadations

All of the hotels are located within 20 minutes from all three tournament sites.

We will be using the Delta Toronto East hotel as our host hotel.

Additional Information:

1. Participation T-shirts

-Every athlete this year will receive an Adidas participation T-shirt. We have both Men's and Women's sizes.

Please have all athletes log into the Google Form below and select their size. This will ensure that they receive the correct T-Shirt in their registration packages. Students who do not complete this form will receive whatever sizes are left over. Have your athletes use confirmation code "OFSAA2017" to complete the form.

-Since we are at the University of Toronto, there is not much shade so it is a good idea to bring a tent with you for shade. There is plenty of green space to put up all the team tents adjacent to the Tennis Courts. If your matches are at either Mayfair location, you will be indoors for the first two days and don’t need to worry about a tent.

3. Tennis Canada APP

-OFSAA Tennis scores, schedule and results will be run through the OTA and Tennis Canada this year. I suggest you download the Tennis Canada tournament app for all your coaches and athletes as all the results will be posted online through this app. If you have trouble with the app, the link is below.
